some time ago in chiswick sainsbury's
I was using the new fangled 'self scan' tills. I will not insult the boards intelligence with a description of how this facility works.
In this particular instance I had used a tenner to buy a bacon and leek pasta bake a culinary delight wich costs a couple of quid. I put my tenner in the machine and waited for the shrapnal from the shrapnal dispenser bit on the side and then took my paper change from the paper change dispenser under the scanner.
But lo - I had fifteen quid. somebody had left either their tenner of cashback or change. So I pocketed it without that much of a second thought and a minor twinge of guilt.
My Bad.
Karma caught up with me last week when among other things from the sainsbury's this time in East Dulwich I bought some anti histamines with my marsmilk and bacon and leek paste bake.
The checkout gimp failed to place the stop sneeze pills in my bag and i spent the rest of the day sneezing.
And so teh pendulum swings back in favour of its opposite.

On a related note I once witnessed a shoplifter half walking half running from boots on Chiswick Hight Road pursued by a security guard. As she wobbled by me she left a dispensing chemists version of a hansel and gretel trail behind her, shedding her stolen load of colgate and rimmel eye liner and cotton buds and sanatogen all over the high street outside robert dyas.
